Old Liu’s house.
Liu Fuhai slaughtered an old hen and fished out the largest carp from the tank. It looked to be about seven or eight kilograms in weight. "Tonight, let everyone come and taste my cooking skills."
Zhou Sese was standing at the door. She was originally talking to Liang Qiuguo. When she heard this, she immediately volunteered and said, "No, no, no, Brother Liu, I want you to taste my cooking skills tonight. I just made an appointment with my sister-in-law. She will help me, and you can go and set off firecrackers with the stars."
The two children stared at the pile of firecrackers and were already extremely jealous.
Liu Fuhai hummed, "Okay, I'll clean up the fish first."
Liang Qiuguo whispered to Zhou Sese, "He cooks delicious food. Let him cook tomorrow, the first day of the Lunar New Year. We have an old rule here that whatever you do on the first day of the Lunar New Year, you have to do it all year round, so he usually does the cooking on the first day of the Lunar New Year."
The old lady sat on the kang and chatted with the old lady from the Liu family. The two of them got along quite well.
The old man next to them was smoking while pouring tea for the two of them, just a tool to pour tea.
Diandian held a bag of goldfish in her hand, ran over happily, hugged Zhou Sese's legs, and said loudly, "Mom, I like it here so much. Can we come to Uncle Liu's house again during the New Year next year?"
Zhou Sese couldn't help laughing and touched her daughter's little round head. "After Uncle Liu finishes cleaning up the big carp, I'll take you and your brother to set off firecrackers."
She tapped her two little hands and drew a huge circle in the air. "Lots and lots of little goldfish, firecrackers, and sky rockets. Uncle Liu said he would teach my brother how to set off sky rockets in the evening."
Liang Qiuguo couldn't take his eyes off Diandian every time he saw her. "You've raised this child so well! He's so fair and clean, it makes people happy just looking at him."
"Twinkle twinkle!"
"Mom, it's the voices of Sister Dahua and Brother Goudan!"
Sure enough, two children appeared at the door after a while.
Dahua and Goudan stood at the door, too embarrassed to come in. "Uncle San and Aunt San, let's ask Xingxingdiandian to go out and release the little goldfish. My parents bought some for me to give to my younger brothers and sisters."
Diandian looked at Zhou Sese eagerly.
Zhou Sese took Diandian and walked over with a smile, "Diandian also has little goldfish, but you have to wait a while and let your uncle take you to set off firecrackers. You are all children, and it will be dangerous without adult supervision."
Besides, there are piles of firewood everywhere in rural areas nowadays. If a firecracker flies in, it will be a big deal.
Dahua nodded obediently, "Okay, Third Aunt, Third Aunt, Grandpa and Grandma, Dad and Mom, and Second Uncle and Second Aunt are discussing letting you go home for the New Year."
Zhou Sese asked with a smile, "What did you say?"
Goudan, who was humming and nagging beside them, said hurriedly, "Grandma doesn't want to, and Second Aunt doesn't want to let you go back either. She said you can only go if you bring bacon, sausages, and spareribs."
Dahua felt embarrassed and kicked her brother, "There's no need to talk about this."
My uncle and aunt will be sad if I tell them.
Zhou Sese smiled and took off a large intestine hairband she made from her wrist and handed it to Dahua, "This is made by Aunt San herself, and I'm giving it to you."
The large intestine hairband made by Zhou Sese is double-layered. In addition to cotton cloth, it is also decorated with a small layer of lace on the outside. It is not a valuable item, but rare things are valuable.
Dahua took it with both hands, carefully, her big eyes full of surprise, she couldn't let it go, "Thank you, Auntie San, this is my most beautiful hairband."
After Liu Fuhai finished cleaning the carp, he called Sheng Xijiang and took the children out to set off firecrackers.
Zhou Sese rolled up her sleeves and glanced at Liang Qiuguo, who hurried into the house and took out two aprons. "Then I'll help you. Just don't think I'm clumsy."
On the hill outside.
Two adults sat on the ground while several children set off firecrackers under their supervision.
Liu Fuhai took out a cigarette and asked, "Would you like to smoke one?"
Sheng Xijiang shook his head.
Liu Fuhai smiled and said, "You've been gone for a few years, and I've been thinking about when you can come back so we can spend the New Year together as brothers. In the past few years, sometimes when I went to the market in town, I could hear those rich old men talking about bad things here and there on the radios hanging on their waists, and I was especially worried about you.
But now that I see you, I feel relieved. You are so lucky to have married such a beautiful wife and have such a pair of well-behaved children. I really envy you!"
Sheng Xijiang picked up a branch and started drawing on the ground. "I never thought I'd take this path."
Liu Fuhai nodded and said in agreement, "I didn't expect that either. But, just like what my old man said, you are a person who will succeed no matter what you do. My old man said that since you were a child, you have more potential than the kids we grew up with."
Sheng Xijiang glanced sideways, "What's wrong with you?"
Liu Fuhai laughed heartily. "That's true. As long as your parents are alive, you can marry a wife you like. My sister got married a few years ago. She's well-off, and her parents-in-law treat her very well. I'm not bad either. That's right... If I could have a little daughter, I'd be even happier."
Said.
He pinched the small stone in his hand and threw it into the river beside him. It hit the ice on the river surface, but the ice didn't move at all. "By the way, your wife is also a doctor and can tell fortunes? Qiuguo told me last night that my sister-in-law told her that we are destined to have children in this life."
Sheng Xijiang nodded without hesitation, "She knows everything."
Liu Fuhai: "Tsk tsk tsk, even better than you?"
